## Transient Entities
Some entities are transient, meaning they do not have a URI. These entities are used for actions that do not require a permanent record, such as deletions or migrations.
Implementations **must not** rely on other implementations to store transient entities in their database.
## Serialization
When serialized to a string, the JSON representation of an entity must follow the following rules:

The Versia Protocol uses the following terms:
- **Entity**: A generic term for any JSON object in the protocol, such as a [User](./entities/user), a [Note](./entities/note), or a [Like](./extensions/likes). Entities are uniquely identified by their `id` property.
- **Transient Entity**: A type of **Entity** that is not meant to be stored permanently or referenced by other entities.
- [**Transient Entity**](/entities#transient-entities): A type of **Entity** that is not meant to be stored permanently or referenced by other entities.
- **Implementation**: A software application that implements the Versia Protocol.
- **Instance**: An application deploying an **Implementation**.
- Using the same nomenclature, an ActivityPub Implementation would be `Mastodon`, and an Instance would be `mastodon.social`.
